The next three days in Greater New York feature a classic spring mix of sun, clouds and showers, but nicer conditions will prevail over the weekend.

High pressure will keep the tri-state area dry on Friday, with sunny skies and lighter winds, the first half of the day will be calm and nice. Clouds lower and thicken through the afternoon as an area of low pressure closes in on the region. A sea breeze will keep temperatures along the shore in the lower and middle 50s, while inland areas will see highs climb closer to 60 degrees.

Unsettled weather arrives in the evening as low pressure and an associated storm system move across the region. This will result in periods of light showers developing from west to east on Friday night. Rain will become steadier overnight and quickly move offshore on Saturday morning.
